quick question: once I connect the Wifly to the Arduino, should I get any led to turn on?<br/>
I&rsquo;m wondering this because I try to connect using the code avaliable in the tutorial, and I get the message:<br/>
&ldquo;Could not initialize bridge, locking up."<br/>
I have no idea what to do?<br/>
Any help?</p>Racine on WRL-09367 - WiFly ShieldRacineurn:uuid:2cfc11a3-3431-ce7a-f4cd-3efc092d5aa12010-08-29T11:00:48-06:00<p>Salut tout le monde !<br/>
Anyone have tryed UDP mode ? Who have sample ?<br/>
I have succeed to setup auto pairing mode tought broadcast, but i have don&rsquo;t find the way for send data in UDP mode &hellip;. :(<br/>
Thx all</p>ovidiup on WRL-09367 - WiFly Shieldovidiupurn:uuid:3c462bd1-98df-95bb-1951-2f2683119c132010-08-16T18:32:44-06:00<p>After buying the board, I was disappointed to discover the RN-131G only supports one active TCP connection at any given time, unlike the Ethernet shield which supports up to 4 connections. This means the shield cannot be used to implement an Ajax-type web server, since most such web apps would need 2 connections opened to the server.</p>bigal on WRL-09367 - WiFly Shieldbigalurn:uuid:40fa7403-be6a-344e-dc0a-ccc56ddbf4042010-08-16T13:30:27-06:00<p>Can someone help? After I type $$$, I get this (the last line repeats over and over):<br/>
WiFly Shield Terminal Routine<br/>
Bridge initialized successfully!<br/>

Any ideas?</p>dfa327 on WRL-09367 - WiFly Shielddfa327urn:uuid:aa517557-a5ec-8000-ae87-0cb235600b2c2010-08-04T07:07:31-06:00<p>Very important if you are just buying one of these now and are using the examples above to test it out. The new wifly operates at a faster frequency of 14745600UL. So you need to adjust the line that is:<br/>
struct SPI_UART_cfg SPI_Uart_config = {<br/>
0x50,0x00,0x03,0x10};<br/>
to:<br/>
struct SPI_UART_cfg SPI_Uart_config = {<br/>
0x60,0x00,0x03,0x10};<br/>

I&rsquo;m sorry to say it takes some modifications to make it work.

It&rsquo;s not clear from the schematic. Mine powers off at about 15V (when I&rsquo;m charging my 12V battery).

I can get it to work fine in command mode over USB, issue commands perfectly. But not connect to either of my networks. Channels, baud, MHz all seem to match. But I can&rsquo;t get it to associate with a network. On one network security is 3, on the other it is 0 (open) and still nothing.<br/>

I am working with this Wifi module.<br/>
I got this to work with my arduino and I am able to access the command lines via USB comport.<br/>
But I want to send data to my computer that is being generated by my arduino wireless. I know how to do it wired(USB), but not wireless.<br/>
can some one help with this?</p>MLumi on WRL-09367 - WiFly ShieldMLumiurn:uuid:64744d55-4921-6c3d-3bb4-33c02780b3182010-03-07T01:59:51-07:00<p>Will I be able to connect to WiFly from Arduino via UART with 250000 baud rate?<br/>
Or it will still require SPI?</p>z3roadster19 on WRL-09367 - WiFly Shieldz3roadster19urn:uuid:de80e399-2976-47ec-87d4-41b4c2e413f42010-03-06T18:30:18-07:00<p>I was using the the sketch and information posted by &lsquo;El Hombre Mecatr?nico&rsquo; and I was able to get my project running but it wouldn&rsquo;t remain stable. At times the SPI bridge would be unworkable for days (multiple resets).<br/>
I modified my program to use SparkFun&rsquo;s code in this tutorial and everything works perfectly. No hang-ups. No unresponse SPI bridge issues.<br/>

This is definitly the solution for everyone. I really appreciate the fact that they took the time to put this together. Just wish something like this existed two months ago when I first purchased the board.</p>Customer #58365 on WRL-09367 - WiFly ShieldCustomer #58365urn:uuid:fd9b0cd6-fb1b-c46a-1a6d-87d665f0071b2010-01-31T10:49:32-07:00<p>The official arduino library doesn&rsquo;t, but there&rsquo;s a library in the &ldquo;playground&rdquo;: <a href="http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Code/Spi" rel="nofollow" >http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Code/Spi</a>.

Just open a Hyperterminal (not the arduino serial monitor) and configure the USB serial port at 9600,N,8,1 with no flow control, and type $$$ to enter the configuration console.<br/>
You can configure unconnected wifly modules and save the configuration in NV memory as the default, so the module connects automatically and this program is no longer needed. With this program you don&rsquo;t need to change your network SSID/encription to configure the module.<br/>
